Description: Double-slit interference is one of the most fundamental quantum phenomena among photons and other particles. We propose a novel and realist quantum framework in which interference patterns in double-slit experiments arise not from wavefunction self-interference or collapse, but from causal non-local, quantized cavity-induced momentum exchange between the electron and the double-slit field potential. Unlike Copenhagen or Bohmian interpretations, our theory treats the electron as a deterministic, soliton-like entity governed by classical-like trajectories. The quantized potential of the slits—described via creation and annihilation operators—is responsible for discrete momentum transfer through coupling with cavity or barrier modes, modeled via octonionic algebra that differentiates internal particle structure from external field dynamics. The resulting interference pattern emerges from non-local, quantized interactions between the electron and field modes without invoking the probabilistic wavefunction. Our model aligns with experimental violations of Bell’s inequality and avoids conceptual paradoxes such as wavefunction collapse and self-interference. The framework makes several testable predictions, offering a promising new direction for understanding quantum interference with clearer physical realism.
